Removing High Speed in AM Super Shifter

[Chris Fultz]

I think you can also use a bolt and nuts to hold the "shift lever" to where you want it (similate the pneumatic in or out).

I think the fitting where the pneumatic connects is a 1/4-28, so use the right bolt!

The low gear is really low - usually close to 5 - 7 fps. That is really slow.

If you have the money, why not look for a solid toughbox gear reduction you like for a quicker fix?

This. If you want a good, one speed gearbox, use Andymark's CIMple box that came in the kit. It's not only a good one speed, but it's also lighter than the AM SS, so you'll not only get your preferred speed, but loose robot weight in the process. It's a win-win scenario.

Final speed depends on your wheel size and any output ratio from chain/belts. In 2010 when we locked our 2 speed, we put it in high gear and increased the final chain reduction to obtain a speed of about 9 feet per second.
